Ghana’s new President, H.E. Nana Akufo-Addo has plagiarized portion of former US President, George Bush’s January 201, 2001 inaugural speech.

Nana Akufo-Addo was sworn into office today as the 5th President of the 4th Republic of Ghana taking over from former President John Mahama who lost the elections last year while seeking re-election.

In Nana Addo’s speech, he said, "I ask you to be citizens: citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens building your communities …..and a nation of character.” ….and this is the full text of President Nana Addo’s speech

Former President George Bush said this in his last 6 paragraphs:

“What you do is as important as anything Government does. I ask you to seek a common good beyond your comfort, to defend needed reforms against easy attacks, to serve your Nation, beginning with your neighbor. I ask you to be citizens: Citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens building communities of service and a nation of character.“

Ghana’s president was giving his inaugural speech at the black star square today in Accra. His victory at the December 2016 polls has brought to an end the series of Johns at the presidency.

Jerry John Rawlings, John Agyekum Kofour, late John Evans Atta Mills and now John Dramani Mahama were the former presidents of the forth Republic of Ghana.
